Sorry if this question has been asked , I searched around for abit but could not find the answer.
I'm going to flash Spike Speedy Edition using Clockworkmod. I used Clockworkmod to create a back up of my Eclair 2.1 and moved that file to my pc. My question is if I wanted to revert back could I just put the recovery files back on my SD card and use Clockworkmod recovery and have my phone back to stock that way or would the only way would be to use Odin?

This is a good question and id like to know as well. Also... Can anyone tell me if clockwork recovery replaces the stock recovery and what the pros an cons are?

If you have recovery 2e (hold power+home+volume up) and launch it from there as a update.zip file then no it will not replace it. You may have to run the update.zip twice to get it to run though (I did). Careful when your browsing the menus as well as the home key is not used to select items in the menu, the back key is used to select items.
Edit....
Forgot to mention that's only if your running a stock rom. Spike's rom for example I believe gets rid of 2e all together and just uses Clockworkmod. Some versions of Froyo use recovery 3e as well and from what I understand you would need to downgrade it to 2e in order to get clockworkmod working again.
Still curious on my original question ...

Yes. You can, just put the backup the cwm folder. But let me remind you cwm won't restore your 2.1 ROM. In case that is what you want to do you'll have to use ODIN go to 2.1 then apply CWM and then restore from the backup you created earlier.
Well that's sorta a bummer, was hoping it could since It was used to flash the new rom.

what exactly do you need help with??
Have you successfully booted into clockwork recovery menu?
These posts ( questions ) go in the question subforum.
Start reading from the very first post in the Froyo it's real post in this subforum, I guarantee it's in that thread ( and not to far from the beginning ) if you read a little extra to find it, so be it, you might actually learn somethin.
I will just list the steps to you.
1. lauch rom manager and click flash clockwork recovery
make sure to choose the Captivate Version
2. Choose boot into recovery menu. It will ask you if you are sure you want to boot. Just click yes/ok
3. You will boot into the stock recovery menu. From there choose reinstall packages.
You should now be in the clockwork recovery menu. (the text is in green)
4. Once in the clockwork recovery menu go to install from zip (something like that) and choose the Cognition 2.2 update.
5. You should be done and ready to boot into cognition 2.2
Good luck and if you have any more questions come back to this thread and I will try to help you out bro.

tried it jus like u said and it still didnt work i download cognintion 2.2 and drag it to my sd card and the phone says no file found
Hi!
I've succesfully rootet my SGS. testet wtih terminal, and i got the # sign.
Also, I have suoer users installed, and granted access to ROM manager, e.g.
Now, I would like to flash darky's custom ROM. And usually, i would boot into custom recovery menu and wipe, and apply zip from sd. (this was on my HTC).
Well, this is causing me some problems. I would rather not use Odin, as it seem a bit unsafe but I installed ROM manager, and flashed Clockwork Mod recovery. Now, when I reboot into custom recovery I get the stock android recovery, though ROM manager, says my current version of clowckwork mod is installed, and all went succesfull.
Now, my question is. Can i rename the zip file update.zip and flash with the stock android recovery anyway?
When you flash clockwork i think it just puts a .zip file on the sd card so youbshould try flashing the custom recovery through stock recovery. If not then ODIN is the way to go which can be perfectly safe if done properly.
*You have to select reinstall packages i think.

I never get into clockwork mod, so I guess I dont get the option to reinstall packages... The only option I have beside wiping and reboot is to apply update.zip from sdcard in android recovery. But I don't think there is any update.zip on my sdcard. not last i checked at least. Guess Ill have to go with Odin then :/
Usually the option to reinstall packages is on stock recovery. I might be wrong but odin is easy to do if you get the right firmware for your phone. Sorry i ciuldnt help more.

Thanks again. I get wiser by the hour
I think im on android recovery (3e) as I recall, perhaps they removed it
I was wandering. I found the clockworkmod.zip /recovery_update.zip on the sd-card. if I move this to root of sdcard and rename to update.zip, can I then flash it via android recovery with the "apply update.zip from sdcard" function, or is this not for the purpose?
That might work, you may aswell try butif not try looking at the url i posted and see if it helps. If not then im sorry for wasting your time :S

thanks, but i think Im caught in between... i cant choose reinstall packages, and I need to get back to stock kernel...
got download mode to work now, and think I know what to do from here. thanks for the link and response
Finally - reverted back to stock android recovery 2e and flash clockworkmod recovery.... but - a new problem... when in clockworkmod, i need to choose zip from sd card, when i go into this, and choose external sd, it says no files
what to do? the files are there, when I put in the sd card in the PC the files are there...
Not entirely sure but i think you're meant to put the .zip on the internal sd. If not then maybe the sd card is not fat32 format. This is only speculation :S

So guys, I need to know what the easiest ROM to put on my Captivate is. I'm rooted on the stock Froyo and I'm coming from the Aria where it was really easy. But, a couple days ago I bricked my Captivate and now have new one. And coming form the Aria I never had to worry about download mode (which I still don't quite understand) and bootloaders and Odin3 (which doesn't register my phone when my phone is in download mode, however, it registers it when out of download mode). So I need a good ROM that all I have to do is boot into CWM and install from SD card because thats all I understand as I have been doing that on my Aria. Please help me find the perfect ROM. Thanks so much. Love you guys here at XDA!
If you already have CWM, all you have to do is boot into recovery and choose install zip from SD card. This will work with any FroYo ROM.
If you don't have CWM you need to mod your recovery before you do anything.
You should be able to mod your 3e recovery from your computer, check the stickies for 3e recovery Modding, its really easy, and caries no risk of bricking.
Then, using modded 3e recovery you can flash CWM with an update.zip then flash a ROM.
Or, rename ANY froyo ROM "update.zip" and flash it directly from your modded 3e recovery. I recommend FireFly or Cognition personally.

Yes, every Froyo ROM'S can be flashed with ClockWork Mod Recovery, you can download ROM MANAGER from market and you just touch "Flash clockwork mod" and then you have it, put the .zip files in your internal SD, and flash them using CWM.......

That is one way to obtain the CWM install file. But you still need to mod the 3e recovery before you can install the CWM recovery. Otherwise when you try to install it you will get the signature verification failure.

how do I mod 3e recovery? Whenever I use cwm to reinstall packages, it says full signature verification failure. Or something close.

Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?

that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...

So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.
